  • When selecting a maple syrup, look for one that is 100% pure and not blended with any artificial sweeteners or flavors.
  • Be sure to use a good quality butter when melting, as it will affect the flavor of the pancakes.

  • For the cornmeal, use quinoa instead. Quinoa is a gluten-free grain that is high in protein and fiber, making it a healthier alternative to cornmeal.
  • For the butter, use vegetable oil instead. Vegetable oil is a plant-based alternative to butter and is lower in saturated fat, making it a healthier choice.

Coconut Pancakes Substitute 1/2 cup of coconut milk for the regular milk, and add 1/4 cup of shredded coconut to the dry ingredients. Cook on a hot, greased griddle.
